Keep checking back throughout the season. I have lots of material and video clips to post on the site...just takes time to get it posted!


Amber Wood & I were manning the Canadian Avalanche Centre booth and met quite a few 4M members at the Edmonton Snowmobile Show. It was a busy weekend, answering questions related to training and Bulletins. Hardly had time to do any shopping!

If you are in Calgary for the Nov 11/12 show be sure to come for a visit. We'll be there!

================================
AST 2 - (Advanced RAC) - 4 days

- for those that would like to take another step in your avalanche training, please consider the 4 day AST 2 (or Advanced RAC as it used to be called). Zac's Tracs will be assisting Peter Kimmel of Incline Research and Control. This program is ~70% field based, more about terrain, rescue, and snowpack. It will run in Revelstoke Jan 16 - 19, 2007. The course fee will be ~$400/pp. This may depend a little on the group size. The maximum on the course will be 8 people. Highly hands on with a very low instructor:student ratio. Currently there are 5 spots left for this course. This is the only class of its type that we will offer this season.

REVELSTOKE - facility TBA Jan 16-19, 2006
